The Education ShowWhat's it like when your (private, unregulated) alma mater is exposed as a fraud?It’s always great to talk with students, parents, and educators who have had their lives depicted in the media, to get their thoughts about the experience of being a subject — good, bad, and mixed. So I was eager to speak with Doraian Givens, the former TM Landry student whose life was upended in 2018 when the school was exposed for giving falsified information to colleges and for inflicting physical and mental abuse on students. She’s a major character in the new book, MIRACLE CHILDREN. Despite the harrowing circumstances involved, Givens describes the experience of having...

Politics and Prose PresentsKatie Benner and Erica L. Green — Miracle Children: Race, Education, and a True Story of False Promises - with Vanita GuptaA riveting investigation into a school, a scam, and a notorious college admissions scandal that exposes the inequalities and racial segregation of American education, from two award-winning New York Times journalistsT.M. Landry College Prep, a small private school in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, boasted a 100 percent college acceptance rate, placing students at nearly every Ivy League university in the country. The spectacle of Landry students opening their acceptance letters to Harvard and Yale was broadcast on television and even celebrated by Michelle Obama. It became a national ritual to watch the miraculous success of these youngsters—miraculous beca...

Green describes last week’s release of her new book (co-written with fellow New York Times reporter Katie Benner) as an occasionally overwhelming homecoming — “a culmination of so much of what I covered my entire education reporting career.”And she’s been gratified to see that — for the most part — readers and reviewers seem to have understood that the purpose of the book isn’t...

The Education ShowThe necessary discomfort of debunking a feel-good education storySeven years ago, after a nationwide slew of social media hype and frothy media coverage about deeply impoverished kids from Louisiana getting into Ivy League colleges, the New York Times’ Katie Benner and Erica L. Green revealed that their courses, transcripts, and essays — but not their ACT scores — had been faked, and that the unregulated private school they’d attended had manipulated them and their parents even as some kids were being subject to physical abuse. This week, Benner and Green’s book about what happened is out, and I had the chance to talk with Benner about what...

Keen On AmericaThe School of Misery: The Children of a Manufactured MiracleBack in 2018, the New York Times reporters Katie Benner and Erica L. Green exposed the disturbing reality of the T.M. Landry college prep school in rural Louisiana. Celebrated as a “miracle” institution that successfully sent underprivileged black students to elite colleges, Benner and Green uncovered a miserable school that doctored college applications and bullied its students. Seven years later, Benner and Green have written Miracle Children, a book as much about race, education and false promises in contemporary America as it is about T.M. Landry itself. While Benner and Green’s narrative won’t please everyone...

Truth in PoliticsEp. 025: Are Suppporters of Either Major Party "Enemies of the State?""New York Times" reporter, Katie Benner, recently tweeted and then retracted the claim that Trump supporters are "enemies of the state" and should be treated as "national security threats." Is this claim accurate? Perhaps 70 million Trump supporters believe that Biden voters are "enemies of the state." If they do, is that claim truthful? Or, conversely, is it morally wrong and politically volatile to treat millions of supporters of either major party as "national security threats?" If so, why? These are the questions to be discussed at 8 pm ET tonight by Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin.
